This is an incredible (but very busy!) state park. We camped at walk-in site 83, which was hands…read moredown the best site in the park. The walk-in sites in general are all amazing, you're secluded from everyone else but still close to the amenities. Site 83 is about a 4-minute walk from where you park your car. There are two tent pads and plenty of space. It's a beautiful site--book it early! The amenities at the campground were great, plenty of places to recycle, fill up water, and throw out trash. The bathrooms are also very nice, but they are some of the busiest bathrooms I've ever seen! There are plenty of hiking trails as well, a great visitor center and gift shop, and it is an all around lovely state park.

I'm not super experienced at camping, but the campsites felt quite close together to me. Compared to other places we've been, the sites are much less private. AMENITIES: 5/5 The amount of water spickets and bathrooms around the site were great, and the showers/main bathroom facilities were nice! STATE PARK: 5/5 We loved walking a bit of the state park over the weekend! The suspension bridge is super cool, and it's really fun to walk on and explore the unique rock formations along the water.

Very close to many restaurants and Canal Parkway, within walking distance. I would suggest parking at the hospital ramp, this is going to be a little cheaper and more secure than the back lot offered, $12 verses $25 for 24 hour parking.

There is no front desk or room service or gym or pool but when we travel we are there to be in the area not hang out at the hotel so it's a perfect set up for us. We were in one of the "smaller" rooms. It was the perfect size for the two of us. It's has similar amenities in the room like a hotel (mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, hair dryer) but the layout is much better, with a sitting room area that feels like a mini living room where you can relax and watch the giant tv. It was very clean and well kept. Had plenty of outlets all over the room, including on each side of the bed. The neighborhood is super walkable, even in the dead of winter. There are restaurants, bars and coffee shops all within a five minute walk. In the summer it's just a few minute walk to the lake. We will definitely be staying here again!

The rooms still need a little work when it comes to the sofa beds. I really appreciate that there's a floor dedicated to my dog friends; I don't have one myself, but they're my friends anyway. Just one comment about the bathroom sink: the drain was completely clogged--as if it hadn't been cleared for months--and it was disgusting. Luckily, Kelly was kind enough to take care of the situation right away. See you next year.

All of the common areas, including the two tiny guest elevators were consistently full of dogs. The hallways, the deck with the fire pits, sports court and game area, the parking lot, the lawn- all full of dogs. Perhaps great for dog owners, not so great for those of us with allergies or if you just don't stay at hotels to share space with dogs. Two- Our supposed "non-pet friendly" room was shoddy (see photos) with dirty carpet, a huge water damage stain on the ceiling and an accompaniment of fleas. You cannot allow pets throughout the property and expect to keep fleas and ticks contained in certain rooms. There was a tiny walk-in shower (photos) with only one glass panel. I understand that some large walk-in showers do not have door(s). But this one is far too small for that. No door to close on this just meant lots of water on the bathroom floor. Three- the staff was rude. Enough has been said here in other reviews about the bad behavior of the staff, so I feel no need to add another nasty story. Four- Silo, the on site restaurant was booked solid with groups that were not even staying at the hotel. The restaurant staff would not seat us, because the tables were all reserved. We were also told that this meant no in-room service. We and the other guests of the hotel waiting in line were told that we would have to go elsewhere or call some establishment that will deliver. I would only recommend this place to people who lie down with dogs. It's Motel 6 with a view.

At the time of booking, I also stated that I have a Registered Service Dog that would be with me as well. The week before our trip, my mother had a stroke and was hospitalized. Not knowing what her future prognosis was, I contacted the Inn and spoke to Julie attempting to cancel and hopefully get at least a portion of my deposit refunded. Nope. Apparently, the cancellation policy at The Inn has no room for family emergencies. She blatantly told me that, not only would I not be refunded my $300 deposit, BUT If she could not book the room to someone else, I would also be responsible for the remaining balance. She than gave me one other option of switching my dates to the next week but that was the only time she would give us because the rates go up after Memorial Day. I was so irate and overwhelmed, I told her I would call her back in a few days once we found out more info on my moms health. After 3 days in the hospital, my mom was up and moving and her doc said some fresh air could do her some good. So I phone Julie again and let her know we would be keeping the reservation. (Not really any other options or I would be out $910. Get to the Inn the afternoon of the 13th and as I am checking in and paying, I see that my balance due is now a little over $700 and I question Julie about it. She gaslights me and tells me that's the amount I gave you over the phone when we spoke. Which is not true, because I wrote the remaining balance down in my planner. So I'm going over the receipt and I see that she has charged me $15 a night for my service dog. "The ADA and the state of Minnesota prohibit public accommodations from charging a special admission fee or requiring anyone to pay any other extra fee or cost to have a service animal with you". So I asked Julie if she were really charging me for my service dog and her response was she would have to clean up after him. Strike two. We park, get out of my vehicle and look UP UP a huge steep set of stairs which lead to The Wolves Den which is our accommodation for the week. My mom just had a stroke. Her body isn't even working at 75% and now we have to go up and down these stairs the whole week! WTF?! Trying to stay positive, my husband and I unload everything and help my mom up to the room. Open the door and oh good lord. ‍ There's no separate sleeping area so all 4 people that the room supposedly sleeps, are right next to each other. Awkward but again willing to make the best out of it and maybe a good idea to be so close to my mom in case anything happened. The bathroom folks...in 5'2 and small. You can't open the doors and go in to sit on the toilet without opening one door, sliding in sideways closing the other door than moving over to the toilet and closing the second door. My husband is 6'2. He was miserable. He couldn't even stand up fully in the shower. On a positive note, they have supplied you with dishes, silverware, coffee pot, stove and mini fridge and a microwave from the year I was born (1974). I was bound & determined to make this late Mothers Day trip a good one and hope that it helped my mom heal up from her stroke. In the middle of the night on Monday May 16th my mom had another mini stroke. Terrified, we contacted her medical team and threw everything on my vehicle and took off for home and the hospital. I messaged Julie and let her know the situation and that we had to cut our stay short to rush my mother home and I asked if she could or would consider compensating us with a refund for the two remaining nights we had left on our reservation. Her response was that she would "figure out a rain check for us to use at another date" I have never in my life felt so defeated and disregarded by another selfish human in my life. I understand a business needs to make a profit, but where is the humanity? The empathy or basic human compassion? Thanks but no thanks to your offer of a rain check. I will not EVER stay at your establishment again. My mother ended up having to be taken by ambulance to Fargo to have Carotid Endarterectomy surgery. I live 2 hours away and have had to drive both ways each day. I could have really used the refund so I could've stayed closer to my mom in Fargo. I am SO angry with this establishment and disappointed in the behavior of its owner. I love supporting small local businesses but this one completely ruined that for me. P.S. the pancakes were good.
